See The Man Who Masterminded The Killings In Taraba (Full Story Inside)

Taraba
State police command has paraded the suspected mastermind of the recent
killings orchestrated by unknown gunmen at Garbabi ward of Gashaka Local
Government Area of Taraba State. Before the parade of the suspect, identified
as Ardo Ayuba, at the police command, the Commissioner of Police, Shaba Arkali,
said the plan was hatched in the house of the suspect. He said the suspect was
arrested by the policemen drafted to the area to stop the killings. Although
the police commissioner, while briefing journalists in his office at the police
headquarters, said only 15 persons were killed by the gunmen, Governor Darius
Ishaku said over 44 people were killed in the attack. The governor also said
five persons were injured, while six others were missing at the time of the
report, with over 100 displaced, including women and children. In a press
statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Isahaku on Media
and Publicity, Sylvanus Giwa, said the attack started on Sunday with a case of
rape by the armed bandits, which the lady resisted, adding that this led to
unleashing of mayhem on the entire villages of Gashaka and some part of Bali
local government area. Other places affected by the crisis included Maisuma,
where nine people were killed; and Fali village where seven persons were also
killed. He said the 100 displaced persons were taking refuge at Mayo-Selbe,
Kungana and Garbabi villages in Gashaka local government area. However, the
commissioner of police told journalists that the Police had deployed 60 mobile
police men from Yola to take over the situation. He urged the people to remain
calm, adding that investigation was ongoing to ensure that the perpetrators of
the act were brought to book. Click Here to Download Our Android App
